Overview

There are no MRI findings associated with celiac disease.

MRI

MRI has a great specificity among all imaging modalities for celiac disease diagnosis, but the sensitivity of MRI differs based on the finding. The most important intestinal findings of MRI include:

• Bowel dilatation
• Increased number of ileal folds
• Reversed fold pattern abnormality
• Increased wall thickness
• Duodenal stenosis
• Intussusception
• Mesenteric lymphadenopathy
• Mesenteric vascular changes
• Ascites
• Asymptomtic in less than 20% of cases
